just been smoking the same old same old lately. same shit ive been on a rotation of for the past 6 months. i dig predictable. Jack and G13. Haze. Unknown strain.
was just reminiscing about some classic late 90s/early 00s narcotic strains. Where i lived there was a shift from generic hydro and beasters to exotics (or headies if it was a hippy slinging it). Although things are far more proficient, the science/technology is stronger, and variety is greater, the BC/Amsterdam/1996 California 215 era ushered in some unprecedented indoor growing.

LA Confidential
Then with that California outdoor scene bursting at the seams with 215 after 1996, the outdoor became far more prevalent too, maybe more in the early mid 00s with stuff like
blue dream
jack herer

i remember the first time a friend grew girl scout cookies, 2013/14 or so, and people didn't even want it. everyone wanted the OG or SD, even Jack over GSC at that point. I don't think that anyone would have imagined that that strain, the idea of GSC dessert weed, would essentially take over the genetics of the next decade. While I realize it comes from OG, it's become something completely different and while potent medicine, not particularly interesting. I was at a community event last weekend with a bunch of old, old, old timers and these cats are puffing on these chongers that just smelled like good, good fucking herb grown in the soil and under the sun. It wasn't like "oh what is that..." rather, "oh yes. yes. that's what good herb smells like."
